Live Filter Box active but filtering not indicated in display

Post by geoffyates »

Where a file listing is the result of a search operation and a filter has been applied at first the filter is indicated in the Live Filter Box and also to the right of 'Find Files:' and the files listed are correctly filtered. If moving away to another tab and then returning to the tab containing the listing of the filtered search operation the listing will still (correctly) be showing the results with the Live Filter applied, but there is no longer any indication that the Live Filter is active, either in the Live Filter Box, or to the right of 'Find Files:'. It seems undesirable that the listing is being filtered without that being indicated in any way.

Version 20.40

Hm, works fine here.

What are your settings here: Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Live Filter Box

All three check boxes are UNchecked.

The delay is set to 0.

These are the installation defaults.

Yep, got it. Here is the fix:

Code: Select all

    ! Live Filter Box: With "Persistent live filters" OFF and "Cache search 
      results" ON you would get (apparently) live-filtered search results when 
      going back to a search result tab but nothing in the interface told you 
      that a Live Filter was in action. Reason: You were just seeing the cached 
      snapshot of those live-filtered search results. Fixed: Under these 
      conditions search results will not be cached anymore.
UPDATE: Scrap that, I changed the fix to this:

Code: Select all

Fixed: Under these conditions the Live Filter will persist now.
